I completed my Cotswold Way walk on Sunday 4th July in Bath at 3pm. For those of you following progress on this site you will have read that the weather was kind to me, I met some great people at the B&B's I stayed at and also on the walk.<br>Highlights for me were the first days walk with Graham from Chipping Campden to Winchcombe, Mid week walk with Caroline from Painswick to Kings Stanley (a nice short one!!), the walk over Long Cam Down nr Dursley, the meeting up with 2 walkers for my last two days, seeing Di every other day and Naomi at Bath. I was surprised by the amount of woodland walks (about one third) and the steepness of some of the climbs. It was however a really great week. I'm now collecting in the sponsor money and am expecting to raise around £500 for Macmillan Cancer relief.
A big thank you to everyone who supported me in any way.
